With the EMF meter (detects 200 MHz- 8 GHz) at 2-3 feet from the microwave I see 500,000 to 1,000,000 uW/m2.

The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
At one level, if you turn the microwave on, you don't want to stand in front of the microwave. And that's what our parents were telling us as kids. I remember having a microwave in my house as a child and staring at the food in the microwave. And my mom would say "Move away from the microwave." Well that's why like you're getting this RF EMF at pretty high levels. It'd basically be like standing in front of a Wi-Fi router all day.
If you're standing outside a microwave, you might get 3 to 4 matt per meter squared.
